Prince Blueblood is the most eligible stallion in Equestria. All the mares know it (as do a measureable percentage of the other stallions, but that's not exactly a problem). The problem is, Blueblood knows it as well, which is why he's decided to be the perfect boor at social events, under the assumption that only the most worthy mare would trouble herself with his loutish behavior and prove herself worthy of his attention, affection, and sizeable fortune.
It wasn't a particularly good decision, but then again, he was raised to be Eligible, Handsome, and Intelligent, but not Wise, which is why our story begins in the aftermath of a Particular Grand Galloping Gala, wherein our frosting-covered hero sets his first hoof on a path that, if he's very, very lucky, might see him imprisoned for life married.
No matter what happens, he is, most likely, doomed.
Yay! Rariblood (My favourite OTP) still lives! I'm so glad you wrote this story.
It's a pretty great and well-written story! I legit can't wait to read and see what happens next! Sorry for all the exclamation points! Have a like!
P.S. You know what I think would get your stories more views? A little bit more detail on the shorter version of your summary.

Thanks for the tip!
And you won't have long to wait. Chapter two is in the works.
A military girl named "Daisy Chain?" My god. Hopefully Concord is blessed with stamina and an open mind.

Anyone dating an Earth Pony mare is going to need plenty of the former and a healthy sprinkling of the latter.
Mostly because some of them find other, creative uses for farm equipment.
Oh snap, Concord's gol durn done did it now...

Poor sap. And he doesn't even know what he's done. I almost...almost feel sorry for getting him into this.
me when seeing a new chapter of this story:
I wonder what his plan is, it can't end well

Filthy: Just because it's a terrible idea doesn't mean we won't have any fun.
I'm glad you have posted an update.

Thanks! Now that my business has come back and I could quit my temp job, so I can hopefully focus on more of my writing.
And editing, or my book will never be finishedAh memories of happier times said burger brought back Happy memories of a plump jolly fry cook Grandfather didn't it?

She hides it well, but Rarity always struck me as a pony who is trying very, very hard to be more sophisticated than her background, but in the best way possible.
like everypony say:"the best way to get to a mare's heart is through her stomach"

Well, Considering Rarity's Parent's lackadaisical parenting it's no surprise Rarity would feel far fonder memories toward her Grandfather than her parents.
Rarity's a grown Mare has her own Business her parents Dump her Little sister off on her to Raise while they disappear around the world.
I honestly thought Sweetie was Rarity's Daughter when I first saw her considering that she lives with Rarity.
Nope her parents dropped her off on Rarity to watch after, the Canon show timescale is 3 years Sweetie is living with Rarity.
So I can see where Rarity is coming from trying to show true Nobility and class compared to those who abandon their child to galavant around the world for years on end.

Fair, but that's just one of many ways to flesh them out. Just depends on which direction you could take the characters.
It could just as easily be that they're trying to keep The Old Place running, and now that they have an adult daughter, Rarity's an easy out to look after a younger sibling.
Am I the only one who thinks it's not okay to violently assault someone who's trying to apologise for something they did once, creating serious property damage in the process, and then making the party who got assaulted pay for it?
I hope someone points this out at some point. And I hope it's not considered "not so bad" because Blueblood is male and Rarity female.
I like the premise, but this really bothers me.

In the real world? You're absolutely right.
In the world of cartoon smol horses where injuries don't stick unless they're plot relevant & musical numbers break out? Less so.
Looks like I needn't have worried. Applejack and Rarity understand her behaviour wasn't okay, if the latter a bit slower to admit it.
One thing in particular regarding the Gala night needs clarification with this setup, I feel. Blueblood wanting to get rid of suitors out for his station by being insufferable, fair enough, Concord already let him know what a dumb plan that was. But using Rarity for a shield against the flying cake, that was the last straw back then; and it wasn't something he could've planned for in advance, meaning it most likely was a reflex. Also fair enough, instinctively hiding behind somepony else is a thing Fluttershy does too.
It would still be a cowardly thing to do, and may need a separate apology.

Rarity might eventually forgive him for that one. When he's ancient and toothless.
Might.
11048251
Perhaps, perhaps. Certainly not before he apologised. Because even if the boorish behaviour was an act, like I noted, the cake thing very likely was not. So that's all on him.
Not that Rarity wasn't being more than a little dumb herself, mind.
"I can't believe he would treat me like a maid, or a servant! Acting like he's some kind of, of—!"
"Prince?"
"Yes! Wait..."

Something like that might be showing up in the near future.
